In the United States and Canada, most towns and cities
have A.A. groups. In such places, A.A. can be located through the local
telephone directory, newspaper office, or police station, or by contacting
local priests or ministers. In large cities, groups often maintain local
offices where alcoholics or their families may arrange for interviews
or hospitalization. These so-called intergroup associations are found
under the listing A.A. or Alcoholics Anonymous
in telephone directories.
At New York, USA, Alcoholics Anonymous maintains its international
service center. The General Service Board of A.A. (the trustees) administers
A.A.s General Service Office, A.A. World Services, Inc., and our
monthly magazine, the A.A. Grapevine.
If you cannot find A.A. in your locality, visit our Web
site: www.aa.org; or a letter
addressed to Alcoholics Anonymous, Box 459, Grand Central Station, New
York, NY 10163, USA, will receive a prompt reply from this world center,
referring you to the nearest A.A. group. If there is none nearby, you
will be invited to carry on a correspondence which will do much to insure
your sobriety no matter how isolated you are.
Should you be the relative or friend of an alcoholic who
shows no immediate interest in A.A., it is suggested that you write
the Al-Anon Family Groups, Inc., 1600 Corporate Landing Parkway, Virginia
Beach, VA 23456, USA. This is a world clearing house for the Al-Anon Family
Groups, composed largely of the wives, husbands and friends of A.A.
members. This headquarters will give the location of the nearest family
group and will, if you wish, correspond with you about your special
problems.
